If they're just random people, I'd see these as things we'd put in the random amazing pictures thread. But if they're forum-goers, then a separate thread feels totally appropriate. I know some of you folks do some pretty cool stuff. :)

In response to this...eh, I kinda wouldn't mind seeing a VG art topic I guess. There's definitely talent out there. So maybe VGM art and merch (like the t-shirts at Fangamer or whatever)?

http://www.gametee.co.uk/Makes really stylish videogame shirts. I hate the stuff with logos or characters on it, and this is definitely "less abstract" than fangamer can get. THere's one here Vivi fans will shit for I for.

So I used to see prints of Raphael's churbs, or prints based on them at least, all the time. Super common on posters. I mean, at least during the Bush years and a little after. Talking Bush Sr. btw. (also I like Sr. u wanna fite about it m8?)

1. They look bored. Deeply and existentially bored. And that kind of set my entire concept of the afterlife during the period of time during which I subscribed to a more traditional view of Christianty. It's like the Talking Heads song -- heaven is a place where nothing ever happens. You float around in this nebulous cloud place doing /nothing/.

2. They're naked. So I got the impression that heaven had this forced nudity clause which I was /deeply/ uncomfortable with when I was five or so for various reasons.

4. I didn't notice this when I was younger cause I think on posters they usually change the background out with something a lot sunnier/blue, but seriously they're in a hazy void that... looks like it's on fire? Like an a-bomb test?

It's seriously just a painting of spending eternity naked in a sickly-looking void with nothing to do.
